Flamengo fans slam Gerson during match against Cruzeiro: "Oi, Gerson..." | OneFootball

Gerson was the target of provocations from Flamengo fans

Flamengo defeated Cruzeiro this Wednesday (11th) by 2-0 at Maracanã, in a match valid for the Brazilian Championship. The clash also marked the reunion of Gerson with the Nation, who was booed throughout the entire game.

Gerson was booed every time he touched the ball during the match against Flamengo at Maracanã. In addition, the red-and-black fans loudly chanted: “Hey, Gerson, vai tomar no c*” and “Ah, you’re a mercenary,” as a way to provoke the Cruzeiro player.

HOW DID GERSON PERFORM IN THE GAME?

Thus, Cruzeiro created little against Flamengo, and Gerson was unable to stand out. The former red-and-black midfielder played 76 minutes, completed 88% of his passes, and was unable to take a shot at the goal of the “Mais Querido” at Maracanã.

WHAT IS THE CONTEXT OF GERSON'S DEPARTURE?

Gerson was captain and an undisputed starter for Flamengo until the middle of last year, when he decided to leave the red-and-black team. The midfielder transferred to Zenit (RUS). However, without space and unable to perform at the same level, he decided to return to Brazil and play for Cruzeiro.

WHEN DOES FLAMENGO PLAY?

Now, Flamengo leaves Cruzeiro and Gerson behind and focuses on the next match of the Brazilian Championship. The red-and-black team faces Botafogo on Saturday (14th), at 8:30 pm (Brasília time), at Nilton Santos Stadium, for the sixth round of the tournament.
